Truck Accident Causes
When you or a loved one has been injured in a Phoenix trucking accident, the causes of the accident are pretty far down your list of priorities.

However, when you speak with your Arizona truck accident lawyer, the causes become quite important, as these causes will be central to the way he or she builds your case. The causes can also have a big influence on whether or not the case goes to trial or is resolved through a settlement and the size of the compensation. In addition, it's human nature to wonder why something has occurred and how it contributed to the trucking accident.
Many Factors Contribute to Truck Accidents
While each truck accident is unique, several contributing factors are common and specific to these types of accidents. Sometimes, a truck accident is caused by factors outside the driver's control and accident victims are in the wrong place at the wrong time. However, the vast majority of trucking accidents involve some type of negligence such as the following:
- Unlicensed truck drivers
- Inadequate driver training
- Pay structures that promote risky behavior such as overloading trucks or speeding
- Drug and alcohol abuse
- Talking or texting on cell phones while driving
- Driver fatigue
- Overloaded trucks
- Improperly secured cargo
- Poor truck maintenance
- Aggressive driving
